ekdURCHBS AND SCHOOL HOUSES.
The following letter to County Super
Flntendent StaTnes from the State Super
FsAtendent of Public Instruction, Major
S. M. Finger, goes far to solve difficulty
which has embarrassed the former as
well as others in like position. There is
a scarcity of both churches and school
houses in many parts of the State owing
largely to the pecuniarY inability of
local population; and it is natural that,
through motives ofeconomy and conven-
ience, resort should be had to the use of
one building, erected either for a school
or church, for the ioiEt or common
object Of education and religion. Major
Finger, We think. points out both dearly
and strongly theimpropriety of this joint
use; and We hope the comm unities seek
ing OF asking such will be reconciled by
his plain presentation Of good and strong

DKP,TMRNr or PUBLIC IEsFRU0TIoN,
Raleigh, N. c., March 8, 1887. J
Mr.. Jno. W. Star1aes, %. Sspt.,
AshevitJe, N. c.
Dear Sir You of 2Sth ult. has been
received. By examining sections 257S
and 2582 of the school law, you will see
that school committees are bodies cor
porate for the purpose of receiving, hold
ing and controlling sites and school
h int Of cahnnlR
and the cause ofeducation." This control
extends to the care and custody ofbnnkS,
apparatus and all other property hat
belongs to their respective districts.
Church and State are separate in this
country, and of course it is not contem-
plated that public school-houses should
be made regular places of worship. If this
were allowed, the tendency would be to
foment Unconventional strife, and
damageth the school interests. While this
is so, it is customary in rnany neighbor-
hoods for the committees to allow the
temporary use of school-houses for public
worship. This / think they may do
without violating the law, but in doing
SO they must not lose sight of the fact
that they are responsible for the safe
keeping of not only the houses but also
of all books, charts, maps and other
school property. 1t is difficult to lay
down any rule by which committees
should be guided in this matter, but l
venture to suggest that they ought to con-
slider the objections of even minority
of the citizens of the district. The COM
mittees, as committees, are to have no
other purpose than to further the public
school interests; they must therefore
avoid any line of conduct that will breed
dissensious among the patrons of the
school. Especially during the school
terms, they must forbid anything that
would interfere with the orderly and
regular exercises of the school. Within
limits above laid down, think commit
tees may grant the temporary use OF
school houses for public worship.
Yours truly,
s. M. FINGER,

THE FRENCH CRISIS.

French Newspapers Criticise the Folly OF
Cabinet Changes on Trifiing Matters.
LONDON, May 2o.-The French newspa-
pers generally are exceedingly severe IL
their criticisms of the action of M. Goblet in
Welding to the defeat of the Governments
budget propC sails by the narrow majority OF
sixteen votes. The vote cast against him
does not really represent the strength OF
the opponents of the general policy OF the
Ministry and the childish surrender OF M
Goblet at the sound Of the first gun has
filed his political enemies with disgust.
France, it is argued, can i'll afford to set W
Cabinets to blow them down, and II
respect of this position is unquestionably al
a disadvantage with all other European
Governments. With Germany holding
herself off at swords length only, if moi
eager to advance toward the French capita
at the slightest provocation, with England
at variance on questions affecting the pro
tectorate of the New Hebrides and the
rights of French fishermen in English
waters, and with Russia playing fast anC
loose over the matter of an alliance, which
the longer delayed, the less favorable must
be the terms to herself, France, indeed, is
in an isolated position. Never since the
establishment of the republic has she stood
in such great need Of a strong and enduring
Government, backed by the people ano
the army, as she stands at present, and sell
dom have her prospects of constructing
such ministry been less favorable thar
now.
That the petulant resignation of M. Cob
let has greatly retarded a French alliance
with Russia nobody doubts, and the French
press has not been slow to call the attention
of the country to this fact in their leadine
articles. The German press is almos
unanimous in expressing the opin-
ion that General Boulanger is the
strongest man in France, anC
must neces sarily remain member of the
French Cabinet, no matter who may form
it. Whether his retention would be desira
bic to Germany is not so plainly stated, but
all the Germans believe that if the collision
between Germany and France, which must
come sooner or later, is to be brought or
by French aggression, no man in France Is
more certain than he to furnish the neces
sary provocation.

RiVALING IRELAND

A State of Affairs in the Pennsylvania Goa
Regions that Rivals the Much TaIked-O
Inhumanity of Irish Landlords -AbsO
luteiy at the Mercy OF "A SOullcss Corpor-
atiOn-Is this Free America?
WLKEsBARRE, Pa, May 1S.-The mel
employed in the mines operated by j. d
Wentz & CO., at Hazelbrook, have beer
on a strike for several weeks. On Satur'
day the company began the forcible evic-
ton of the mon from their homes. The
whole village and the land lying round
about for miles arc owned by the com
pany. 1t will not sell or lease foot OF it.
Every employee in the mine is compelled
to rent miserable howell from the com
pany at from five to six dollars per mon tn
A cut-throat lease must be signed by the
tenant in which he valves every right to
which he is entitled under the law, and
which places his home absolutely at the
mercy of the company.
On Saturday Deputy-Sheriff Brockway,
backed by a gang OF Pinkerton men, ap-
peared IN the village and began to evict.
Six families, with all their effects, were
thrown out on the hillside. Every thing
the houses contained was thrown pell-
nell out of windows and doors, and chill
dren were driven out and the doors locked
behind them. The company had given
notice that any tenants affording shelter
to tho evicted or their goods would DC
themselves dIspossessed, and not soul
in the village dare take the unfortunates
in.
Mrs. Dunlavy was i'll in bed when the
officers entered her house, but she had 10
90, and her bed was put outside after
her, and il was with difficulty that she OBJ
tanned permission to stay over night at a
neighbours.
Women and children were forced to
sleep on the bare ground, without roof or
shelter. Their goods are lying just where
they were thrown out, the company re-
fusing to allow wagons on their land to
remove them
The strike and the consequent eviction
is the result of the efforts of the company
TO break up the local district of the
Knights of Labor. The company has a
large store in the village, and the en-
ployes are forced to deal with it, and it
only At the store the men arc charged
with their purchases, and the bill stopped
out of their earnings. What with rent
store bills and mine supplies, tho men
find all their wages gone, and many OF
them have not seen a cent OF wages in
money for years
The local district of the Knights Of
Labor began legal proceedings yesterday
against the company to test the legality
of the cases, and despite this action, and
the Indignation which has been aroused,
the company is preparing for further
evictions, and the men are helpless.
